I just got this lamp from Salvation army for $10.00. It is a really funky wood and brass lamp. It has a cast iron base. Now there is one this missing..... and that would be some glass shades that go over those brass cut out cylinders. Even though the lamp looks cool without glass shades I will surely be on the lookout for some that will make it look even better.</div>

I purchased myself a big lovely pineapple to indulge in. I loved it so much I named it Spikey. He rode in the front middle seat of the vehicle.... All was good until Mr. Coco took a corner too fast and Spikey Spiked him in the arm. *OOOOPS* "Why is this pineapple even in the front seat" Mr. Coco said. (BECAUSE I like him I replied.) *hehehe*</div>

You might have noticed I have been missing for a couple of months. I blame that again on the cleaning I have been doing.

<div style="text-align: center;">
My find of the weekend! A vintage YSL (Yves Saint Laurent) Opium tassel necklace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is a solid disk of opium perfume inside the Burgundy enameled disc. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seen this in the display case of one of the thrifts I rummage at. My eyes were instantly drawn to the boldness of the necklace.... but then I seen the small YSL letters. So I took out the trusty web enabled phone and did a quick google search which brought up one listed on Etsy for $219 USD needless to say. I stood at that display counter like a HAWK watching a fish in a lake. (Until someone came over to help me)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I seen the price tag. (A mere $3.99)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The worker comes over. *Points to the wrong necklace* "No (I say politely) the one next to it."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I want to buy it."<i> Do you need to look at it she says?</i> "It's $3.99 right?" I ask <i>Yes she says</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"I will take it" I reply. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I guess that heightened her curiosity as she examined the thing like it was a precious gemstone chiseled out of a rock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then seen her eyes go a little bigger. YEP I'm pretty sure she seen the YSL logo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope whoever priced it doesn't get in poo poo! *hehehe*</div>

Found this dress in the same store as the Opium necklace. I paid more for it than I ever pay for dresses. But I plan to re-sell so eventually I should make my invested money back.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
From what I am seeing on other blogs there is alot of great things being found at thrifts and sales.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That makes me HAPPY!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the past couple years garage saling has become WAY too popular here. I noticed it more last year... but now this year it's INSANE. The garage sale ads listed online have over a couple hundred hits. There is like 10-15 cars at a time at each sale. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know it's these popular shows that have turned all these people into crazy bargain hunters. (Picker shows, Antique Roadshow, Storage wars and so on)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a feeling if I am gonna find any good stuff it's going to be because I am one of the first people at the sale.That will prove to be difficult as I don't like being a pesky early bird. The two last garage sales I held we had people show up an hour and a half early. They even have the audacity to knock on your door (Before anythings placed outside) Or call days ahead of time asking if you will be selling </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Whatever kind of stuff they are looking for.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Awww well I will just keep on saling as I normally do and try not to let those people piss me off"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*hahah* </div>

It has been a month since my last post. The reasoning is because of work. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of stores we clean was supposed to switch over to Spring hours at the beginning of April. And it STILL HAS NOT HAPPENED YET. I was so looking forward to be able to clean a little less and have a bit more time for my hobbies. It can't be much longer before we get the go ahead. I mean Spring did start here on March 20 "WHAT'S THE FREAKIN HOLD UP?" </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I know you were all wondering!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here is how it went.... "I told Mr. Coco I needed to be at the Salvation Army at least 20 minutes before they opened. <a href="http://melzaelf.blogspot.ca/2013/03/fastest-post-i-ever-made.html">(Read previous post if you have no clue what I am talking amount *lol*)</a> So we get there and there is no one waiting outside... we park and another car pulls in. *Eaaak* I think in my head... I better bee-line for the door. I did just that and stood right next to the ENTRANCE. Then the lady who pulled in behind us walks up. So I am thinking hmmmm I guess I was more worried than I should have been. That is until I looked over and realized there was 2 separate vehicles with lady's sitting inside with horrified faces." UH-OH I guess some people were trying to stay warm in their vehicles..... "If you are serious about something you gotta tough it out" *laugh*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They abruptly get out of said warm vehicles and cue in-line I swear every ones secretly eyeing each other up and down. Then I realize one of the ladies doesn't even have a clue as to what's going on when she says "WOW WHAT'S GOING ON?? Why is it so busy today?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the vehicle ladies says: "They opened the display case this morning"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Hmmmm I wonder what she's after I think to myself.) As time gets closer I get more nervous. I show Mr. Coco the two pictures I took of the display case the month before (Yes <a href="http://misssimmondssays.blogspot.ca/">Clare </a>display stuff is ALWAYS priced higher, sometimes higher than they go for on Ebay for goodness sakes.) when everything had just been placed inside. I say if you see this purse or this hat. "GRAB IT"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The time arrives when the worker unlocks the dead bolt. I pull open the door and start walking at a calm brisk pace. Sort of like there was a hot fire coal under my buttocks .... But then I hear the people behind me. Their feet picking up speed.... That's when I revved it up and the hot coals turned to a full on fire. As I am walking/joggin... I see the vintage hat with the black veil and grapes I didn't even stop just *SHWIIIIP* Plucked it off a mannequin head in a snap. Okay one down one to go.... I get to the bags... (ITS NOT THERE) Panic sets in... "WHERE THE HELL IS IT" my hearts racing.... SURELY someone has it in their clutches by now. I hear everyone chatting loudly *Look at this* *OHHHH THAT'S NICE* I see a small crowd gathered over a table. That is when I see the corner of the handbag sticking out from UNDER THE TABLE every one's at. With one *WOOSH* OF MY arm the bag was in my hand *Breath* "AHHHHHHH" I did it. (I actually said that out loud didn't I??) yes I did..... *hahahha* I got what I wanted. But wait?! what's the prices on these things? They always have the prices hidden in the display case. I flip the hat over and it's $10 (Uhmmm no) I like vintage hats but I am not a HAT COLLECTOR or crazy hat lady. That is when I hear one of the vehicle ladies "OH I knew it would have been you that got them, I just knew it" she said (She was smiling and being nice) But I knew she had obviously been after the same things. That's when I noticed she had the other hat that was in the case in her hand. One lonely hat..... I felt the hat I got should go with her. She would appreciate it more than I. So I said "I decided I am not going to buy that hat, it's $10 would like it?" "Oh yes..... thanks" she replied... She looks at the purse "It really is a beautiful bag" "Yes it is I reply" (In my head I say and it's not going anywhere else but with me.) *SMILE*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I told her to enjoy her hats they are both very pretty. And that is how it went. I got the bag.... The bag I wished for. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The price..... $20</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Her name: Beatrice mainly because I beat everyone to her.... *hehehe*<br />
<br />
Note: I might of bought the hat if I hadn't had plans to go on a out of town day trip on Monday. <br />
I am gonna need money ... I usually find great vintage stuff up there.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Beatrice had a busy first day with me. She went to a Bank appointment and then we had some lunch at the Japanese ramen place, we went shopping to Winner's & Toys "R" Us and had a quick jaunt through a Grocery and dollar store. She was told she was a very nice bag at the Japanese restaurant by one of the Waiters. (Obviously he knows his stuff)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Beatrice smells like a Grandma's house... not a Grandma from nowadays but a vintage Grandma. She is better than alot of my vintage bags because she is HUGE and holds my big wallet, camera, comb, change purse, pen, chapstick, gum. And I still had room. You will see more of her in the future I presume.</div>

(*dammit*) Why did we open the case? WHY WHY WHY... I CAN'T LEAVE IT HERE? It's orphaned... owener-less sad and cold??!!</div>

(Get a grip on yourself Coconut) It's a flipping hunk of metal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"NO IT'S NOT" It once had a family.... it once made things for it's family. It's owner loved it very much when it was purchased in April of 63. She was smiling and happy and couldn't wait to get home and step on the pedal and hear the motor hum while she made curtains for her kitchen and fancy stitching on her tea towels. She dreamed of everything she would create. Bernina had been threaded who knows how many times by her owners hands..... Bernina had been oiled and cared for and loved and cherished..... She had seen many dresses MOD, groovy, maxi & mini. She smelled many cups of coffee, heard lots of laughter and even seen some tears. Whatever circumstances led to Bernina being orphaned must have been serious. It couldn't possibly be that Bernina had been replaced by a new plastic model that only weighed 6 pounds.... NO NO NO IT wasn't that!!! Bernina's owner must have aged..... aged to a point she could no longer sew.... Or maybe she moved to a seniors home and couldn't bring her machine with her... or maybe... maybe... she had passed and the owners children just dropped off Bernina like she was a old tatty hat and didn't really realize how special she was.... I don't REALLY have the answers.....<br />
But I just knew she needed a home.</div>

Frocking with fishes is better than washing dishes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You all know of my Crustacean obsession .... Well lately it seems that the ocean life is over taking my mind. Because in the past few months I have been crushing on fishes too. Of course it makes sense, they both go hand in hand right? I mean they have just got to be friends.<br />
FISH & Crustaceans!<br />
<br />
[Side note: Yesterday I read in a magazine that it is good to only have 1 or 2 collections or else things could get tacky]<br />
TOO FREAKING LATE!!!<br />
I have so many collections I can't even count them right now.<br />
Crustaceans, Hello Kitty, Boxer dog figurines, vintage dishware, Melmac, Bedding, Coats and that's all I can think of right this minute....<br />
So I suppose I am tacky.<br />
"Shhh let's just keep this on the down low... I mean look at these pictures"<br />

for me. I have been wanting to dress up and do this post for the past week or so and kept putting it off. Even today I almost didn't jump into this FISH MUUMUU I found. But the sun came out and I thought HECK let's do this. I did my makeup, I did my hair, I jumped into this crazy fun muumuu and then I felt it... The little bit of SPARKLE fun I have been missing. The Muumuu was a $1 purchase from Salvation army. I was THRILLED when I came across it.</div>

Happy Valentine's day! I have read I don't know how many Valentine's posts and now here I am writing my own. See that bunny above? That was my very first Valentine's card. I got it when I was 5 months old. It was from my Great Grandma & Great Grandpa on my Mom's side who are no longer with us. </div>

[Note: After searching for a Ventriloquist picture, I again thought I really need one of those dummies in my life. What the heck?? It's like some weird magnetic urge to me. I find it strange, I am enticed by these weird dolls. Which worries me?! I just watched the beginning of this the other night and then remembered I had already seen it.] </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have worked as a chamber maid, breakfast cook, in a wood plant & retail (clothing mostly)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Retail was my most recent on my resume. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I was in a auto accident and had some back issues so I had to leave the job I was at. At the time I loved hauling boxes of new clothing items and arranging them on racks on the store floor. But the Dr. said I couldn't go back right away. The store needed someone and after a few months of my Dr. notes they had to fill my position. Of course I ended up quitting because my Supervisor said.... "You either come back or I am hiring." "Well sorry but my bodies well being is much more important than making a little more than minimum wage." This was about 4 years back. Fast forward to now my Mr. works a full time job. And we really wanted to make some more money. He didn't want me going back to full or part time because then our shifts usually end up opposite of each other and we barely get time to be together. So one day I just said "Why don't we get a cleaning job? We can work for a couple hours a few nights a week. Work together and make money all at the same time. That was last February.... In April we started cleaning a big office supply store a couple nights a week. In June we took on a craft store also ... and just last week a book store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So we are now busy cleaners. Three large stores and lots of stuff to make sparkle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cleaned 10 toilets the other night! None of them were mine... actually mine needs a cleaning but I am far to busy for that. *laugh* Maybe on the weekend.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Some people may look down on Cleaning or Cleaners for that matter. But I would like to have those people know that cleaners probably get paid double of what the average jobs pay Example: super market, movie theatre, retail store or something along those lines. After doing this for awhile I thought "Why did I not do this sooner?" I used to go to work at the clothing store and work for 6 hours making the same amount I make in 2 hours cleaning.<br />
This is not my dream job. But it might very well lead me to it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My dream is to own my own Vintage & Thrift store. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sat around long enough waiting for that magical moment when out of no where I was going to fall into money and all of my dreams would come true. *hahaa* Maybe a sparkling purple unicorn was gonna fly by my house and drop me off a half a million. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

But until then.... until I am at where I want to be financially I am going to clean my tushie off!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't have to deal with rude customers. I don't have to hear tons of complaints... I don't have to try and explain that you cannot return a pair of pants to our store that had NEVER even been sold at our store and is not even a brand we carry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Oh yes but my dream is to own my own store..." So I suppose I will have to deal with that sort of stuff down the road. But you know what? I will be the boss by then and I can just kick those people out and tell them they are not welcome. *wink* </div>

I can do it! That's what I keep telling myself anyhow. It's been a couple weeks since my last post. I would have posted sooner but life is a lil hectic at the moment. Mr. Coco and I have recently acquired MORE work and were told it would be a smart idea to start our own business since we are pretty much doing that anyways. So why not make it official right? Starting on Sunday I will be working everyday until sometime in March. *eeaaak* When one of our jobs will be going back to one day a week instead of two. Which will then give me Mondays off. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
("Don't worry the max hours I will be working a day is about 4 so it's surely do-able")</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 days a week I have been getting up at 4 a.m. to be at work at 5. THANK HEAVENS that will soon be over and all my shifts will be in the evening. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will finally be able to do Frock on Fridays again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

My second pair of Chinese shoes. I found some last year and was just recently thinking I would like a pair with some color. (My others are black) I had even looked online and seen some real cute ones. Thank goodness I didn't buy them because I found these at Salvation army for $3 BRAND NEW!!</div>

"Yes Coco they are still there"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When out of the corner of my eye... I SEE A DELIVERY VAN PULL UP IN MY DRIVEWAY.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was the only one home and HAD to answer the door. I had been prancing around like the Kentucky Derby was taking place in my living room (with) my mannequin staring out of the front window. It wasn't the middle aged delivery man. It was the young one with the tattoos and bad boy look... "OH MY GOD" I am thinking in my head "Did he see me" I am leaning down trying to get below the window sill" *trying to wiggle out of the velvet dress without getting too anxious* I am unzipping the high boots I am not yet used too.... so I don't fall down the stairs while answering the door (HE'S KNOCKING) *I am trying to pull up my bra straps and tank top that I was wearing hidden under the dress.* "They are twisted intertwined and weird" (TOTAL PANIC MODE) I can't leave the guy waiting I am sure he seen I was home. I start heading for the door. (In leggings and a cami none the less) When I realize I am still wearing the hat!!!!! I give one big hit to my forehead area whilst knocking it to the ground. I answered the door probably looking like I had been working out ... or doing a strip tease as one of my bra straps was down in my arm pit not over my shoulder where it should be. He had two boxes in his arms "So I go to grab them both" Apparently only the bottom was for me... pssshht How was I supposed to know... I could have fought him for it if I had any energy left... but I was worn out after trying to appear normal and get out of my photo shoot clothes in stealth mode. (Even though it didn't work) and I am pretty sure the delivery guy thinks I am a crazy person.</div>

My Mr. asked why I didn't just answer the door in the hat, dress and shoes? ... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I really don't know why?? It would have been much easier!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's because I had moved my mannequin out of my way and she was right in the front window... things already looked weird... I didn't want to make it weirder. *lol*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Speaking of weirder... If you read my last post about "The Rubber" from my local SVDP </div>

You would already know I was already thinking that the place / certain staff were a little odd.</div>

I highly doubt this crazy contraption would be seeing any HOOHAWS ever again... But is you wanted to know it was a bargain price of $4 I am still creeped out by this. EVEN looking at the photo again disturbs me. </div>

The past couple days I have been cleaning and trying to get rid of some un-used stuff. I stumbled across a box of some old photos and mementos of mine and in the box was this picture of me at 18 or 19 wearing a dress that was given to my Mom as a joke on one of her Birthdays. Of course I liked it and decided to do a photo shoot (Yes even back then I was doing photo shoots.) The only difference is there was alot less of them because we used regular film cameras and I could only take a couple pics each time or it would be a waste of film and expensive to develop *lol* No that was not my usual makeup I was just being silly... BUT I did wear that dark lipstick from time to time.</div>

Today I went out for an Indian buffet lunch. Partly because of all the delicious food pictures <a href="http://helgavontrollop.blogspot.ca/">Helga</a> is always posting and the other reason was knowing <a href="http://vintagevixon.blogspot.ca/">Vix </a>is basking in the sun on the beaches of India.</div>

This fun house mirror was in the Sears shoe department. I almost missed it but whilst walking by I noticed my butt looked HUGE... and was thinking "Heck did my lunch catch up to me that fast??" That's when I realized it was a wonky mirror.</div>

And to end the fun I dressed up in a blue feather wrap and vintage style hat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Weird story:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yesterday while I was out thrifting I had found a new faux fur vest. It's just a Walmart brand not vintage nothing extravagant but it's really cute. So since it was freezing I just put it on over top of the sweater I was wearing. At the next thrift store I am looking around when one of the workers (A lady in her mid 60s or so) starts rubbing my vest. "Ohhhhh it's so nice" (She continues rubbing) "I just love it." *she says* I was sort of .... weirded out and kinda just laughing her craziness off. She then says "I bet when you wear this guys come up and want to feel your vest" (WELL LADY I don't know I HAVE ONLY HAD the thing on for 15 minutes) *That's what I wanted to say...*but instead I just continued laughing off her odd banter* (Lady is still rubbing my back/vest) I reach for this vintage hat and out of no where a helmet flies off the top shelf almost hitting me.... and "the rubber" then says "OHHH YOUR GETTING EXCITED"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
WTF!!??</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*lol*</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where do these people come from? I can understand maybe a quick swoop swoop up and down to feel a strangers coat (Not really cause I would never do such a thing) But a prolonged vivacious vest molestation is totally nuts! Had my vest been a cat it would have felt violated! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(This happened at a St. Vincent De Paul) *lol*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had been out shopping with my parent's while Mr. Coco was at work, and when I got in the car after we left "the rubbers"store I started telling the story and said "And the lady kept rubbing me" My Dad blurted out "MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T GO THERE ANYMORE" *hahahaha* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A couple weeks ago I experienced my first rubber... but she just did a quick brush up and down on my lower arm cuff. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(At the time I thought it was strange) But now I consider her harmless after yesterdays encounter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
I suppose if I continue to wear faux fur... this will be my future.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have any of you had this happen?</div>

Calm down... your on the right page. I just decided I needed a new look for the New Year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So the crustaceans have been sent packing ( Now that doesn't mean I don't love them still, because I do)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although I do think they may have scared off some potential blog readers. "I have a suspicion that people may have thought I had a unhealthy fetish for sea life." To that I say: You only live once!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*smile*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So welcome to my new blog look for 2013.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may still have a few minor kinks to work out. But I am rather chuffed with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Although please give me feedback on the font colors, are they okay on the eyes?)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can lighten them a bit if it's a little much.<br />

I don't want to be the reason someone strains an eyeball you know!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wrote a little list of things I would like to do in 2013 after reading <a href="http://www.twosquirrelsvintage.com/2013/01/some-simple-things.html">Vanessa's</a> cute list.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here they are</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Things to do in 2013</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1. Swim in the lake (I used to do this yearly, last year I didn't go once! *Boo*)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2. Cook More (I like to cook but don't do it near often enough.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3. Save some money from my selling ("spend spend spend, none of my pants have pockets cause the money always burns through them")</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
4. Be more organized (I have nothing to say about this.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
5. Fly a kite (Everyone keeps telling me to go do this *wink*)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
6. Fill a coloring book (coloring is relaxing.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
7. Go out of town thrifting (This is something I usually get to do every year and it's one of my favorite things to do.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
8. Make a dress (Hopefully more but I don't want to put too much pressure on myself, although I do have 5 sewing machines... that should be enough pressure.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
9. Make a rag doll (A cute demented one.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
10. Finish sock monkeys from last year (Almost there... just one armless girl, who can't hug her boyfriend back.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
11. Worry Less (I think I come from a family of alot of worriers. I most certainly do not want to carry on tradition.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
12. Think more positive ("The sun'll come out tomorrow So you gotta hang on 'til tomorrow Come what may")</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
13. Read more books ( "I love books but found my reading to be at a all time low in 2012") </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So on with the show!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really looking forward to the Weekend as it seems I have not been thrifting in days. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually sat and though about what the Salvation Army might have in today. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*LAUGH* </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now that's when you know your obsessed. </div>

Well here we are at the end of 2012, I wanted to do one more post and this is it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am showing you my last finds of this year. The picture above is a stack of old patterns I got 31 from the mid 60s - mid 70s. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One thing I hope to learn better in 2013 is to sew. I said the same thing last year but I didn't do much practicing. (Shame on me) I told my Grandma she needs to help me. But now she is second guessing her skills. *hahah* She used to make dresses for herself back in the 50s, 60s & 70s but hasn't done much since. She pretty much only does repairs and simple sewing nowadays. </div>

Dior shoes.... (These confuse me) I really don't think they are real Dior .... or maybe they are... I don't have the slightest clue. If they are they are from the 70s. Never been worn the bottoms are pristine. They seem a little fragile.

For 2012 I only did 63 posts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2011 I did 87</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was determined I would beat my 87 from 2011 in 2012 (But I did not) I sort of slacked a good couple of months. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay so I am going to give it another shot. *Cross fingers*</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope 2013 is a great year for everyone. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am sure there will be lots more vintage finds. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A LOT more garage saling (You know once all this darn snow melts and we enter spring season) *hah*</div>

I wrote this by candle light. Everyone was watching the Expendables 2, so I found myself a corner in the kitchen. It's actually sort of peaceful & relaxing, I may have to do it again. The candles burning are Pine & Happy Holiday. Soon they will packed up and stored back with the Christmas items.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I will have to bring out the "New Year scents" Whatever they may be.</div>

(The only pic I have of Christmas Eve)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My Christmas Eve was the worst probably in my life. I got the flu early in the morning and spent the whole day in bed minus like an hour or so where I "tried to watch t.v. or spend time with family"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a weird flu! For some reason whenever I tried to watch t.v. I just felt worse and had to go back to bed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I will admit I even cried at a point thinking I might MISS CHRISTMAS!!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But the Mr. went and got me some Buckley's cold and flu... and on Christmas morning I was feeling about 90% So thank God for that. Some other people told stories of feeling like crap for days so I guess I kind of lucked out.... a bit.... somehow.... okay well maybe it would have been better to not have got the flu at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
THE ONLY plus side.... is I didn't intake any calories that day so I had lots to spare for Christmas and Chinese food.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*wink*</div>

I did miss my traditional Chinese Christmas Eve buffet dinner. But we made up for it on December 26. So instead of wearing a red Christmas dress and get all dolled up. (I actually went in sweatpants a tshirt and a wool sweater.) *Ahhhh such is life*</div>

This was what I wore out today shopping. The tank top is a cute 60s tent style found at a thrift for $1. These pics were taken in a local park. This spot is the little "Japanese" garden area.</div>

Kit Kat was a homeless kitty she took in, and now lives a lavish life and is spoiled rotten.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She has long shiny silky black fur.... but the most cutest part of Kit Kat is her feet.</div>

This is what I see when I look outside!! I suppose I could expect to have a white Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
P.s. When you click on my pictures do they not show up alot bigger? I have had a couple comments asking for bigger pictures. When I try and make them bigger in my post it throws off my whole blog design and the pics and words run into my side bar stuff. I can make my sidebar smaller if I have too. </div>

*Shifts Eyes* uhhh... Okay so I broke down and purchased my 3rd Elna! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I admit I have a problem people) But really could I pass it up for a $20?</div>

I was worried about the "As is" at first but realize they thought the case was broken and couldn't get it closed. *hehehe* There was nothing wrong with it, it was just designed different than the older cases and is in perfect working CLOSURE! </div>

By Saturday the snow had melted but that didn't mean it wasn't chilly. Here I am in the Salvation Army parking lot. I didn't find alot on this particular visit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I seen a Santa head blo mold and I wanted it BAD! And the Mr. said NO! and I was MAD!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(But I listened)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
@#&% WHY did I do that??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kicked myself hours later when the store was closed and I looked them up on E-bay. So I had planned in my mind I would go back on the next opening morning. I knew there was a 85% chance Santa head would be gone. "He was" *Uhggg*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To whoever bought him.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"If I wasn't Married your Santa head would have been mine"</span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Jus sayin...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A Jolly dancing Santa in the Salvation Army front window. I thought it was marvelous when I read <a href="http://sopastcaring.blogspot.ca/2012/11/last-of-fuchsia.html">Curtise's</a> post about her weekend. She met Santa too.</div>

Apparently I am nuts about nuts! *Seriously* I could not pass up these Acorn statues or finials whatever you want to call them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paid only $4 for the large one and $3 for the smaller. The original prices were something like $22 and $18</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(This is why it's always a smashing idea to hover around the clearance section)<br />
P.s. I picked up another owl last night in blue for $2<br />
Now the orange owl is not lonely!</div>

The Boots were thrifted in the early spring of this year. When I found them it was too warm to REALLY enjoy them. I got them for $15</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As soon as I seen them I thought of Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman </div>

NO!! I am not hooking at a restaurant. *HAH* </div>

One of my favorite stores is closing down. It's only open for 4 more days.</div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am sure you have heard me talk about Zellers before. More than half of the store is empty. (As you can see behind me.) In front of me is where the remaining merchandise is. </div>
<div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I just started laughing looking at this picture. It looks like I am having a heartfelt moment with these pickles. I can assure you I am not. I was just telling them how much I will miss shopping at Zellers.</div>

The vintage skirt was a $1 thrift store purchase. I was so caught up in dollar tag day I did not realize the previous owner CHOPPED off the bottom. (I suppose it used to be a maxi) They never hemmed it up. I wore it anyways. I am thinking of hemming it. But then it might look to short?! </div>

I am totally not used to high waisted apparel. I felt like this skirt was under my uhmm Ta Ta's</div>

Had to make a exchange on my new Winter boots as one had a flaw.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I will admit to have TOTALLY SPLURGED on these)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I live in Canada and they were green. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That's two good reasons why I should not feel bad.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last time I bought new Winter boots was like 5 or 6 years ago and the darn things always gave me blisters on the back of my ankles.</div>

I am on the search for a new winter coat. I really liked this one but the arms were too skinny for my liking. I would not even have been able to wear a sweater in the darn thing. So the search continues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have many vintage faux fur coats that I cannot wait to wear. But I am wanting a casual coat for the occasions when I am in jeans and a tee or work days. Also my job entails cleaning and I couldn't imagine showing up all glammed up in my leopard faux fur. *hahaa*</div>

Last Saturday was the first Sat in many months I did not hit the morning garage sales. It almost felt weird to sleep in until 10 something in the A.M. But just because I didn't go saling doesn't mean I didn't get out of the house to do some thrifting.</div>

This awesome bag was purchased when I went on that out of town day trip I was talking about last month. I walked into the store doors. The elderly woman told me they were closing in (3 MINUTES)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Omg I was frantic.... "Running up and down the isles like a turkey being chased by a fox"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Gobble Gobble Hubble rubble* <---- Okay I wasn't actually making noise on my frantic search... but honestly... I came quite close. I was crushed but I managed to see this bag hanging on a end in a plethora of cast away handbags. This WAS the store I was most excited about rummaging through... So next time I go, they will be my first stop.</div>

When I found this Volkswagen van on the kids toy shelf for $5 I knew I could not leave it behind. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When I was 11 years old I started taking a real liking the Volkswagen Vans. I always told my Dad that when I got older I was going to get one. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(Sadly MANY years later I still don't have one.... but I am not losing hope!!!)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This isn't a little dinky toy. The Vans about 8" long and the wind shield wipers can be moved, the back window opens and it's just pretty awesome.</div>

Estate sale find! A Samsonite beauty case with original box (Never been used) came with keys and all. I paid $15 I was REALLY having to think if I wanted to spend that much. But then I realized... sometimes I can be a little too cheap. So I gave myself the little push I needed and paid the sellers asking price. (Meanwhile there was a hovering Chic.... who was watching me like a hawk... I suppose she was waiting for me to put the case down so she could snatch it up with her large TALONS ....)(Ermm.. I mean hands) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once I paid she buggered off not looking too happy.</div>
